One philosophy I have always held to is that the minute you stop GROWING as a person is the minute you put one foot in the grave. Yes, its depressing to realize that so much of what you discussed int he past is coming true, but it does NOT mean its all over. It just means that NOW is the time everything you thought about will be put to the test. Now is the time you find out if your Preps really SUCCEEDED, in the sense that you really will have to make them WORK for you. Why did you spend allt hat time preparing if the real outcome here makes you passively resigned to the inevitable?
Be at Peace Heineken, you have fought the Good Fight. But do not give up yet. The Bunker is always there in your mind to go to, but it is NOT Bunker Time yet. There is still some Fight left in us all here, and its not time to give up the ghost until the Fat Lady Sings.
RE, I am going to print out this post from this thread, and keep it in a safe spot, for when the time is different from now, and society has descended somewhat to madness, I shall have this post, and take it out and read it.
It is full of hope, and compassion, and in turn, I send it back to you, mixed with my care and kind regards. It is the best we can..and should do as human beings with one another.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Yes, my perception of you, as shaped by what you write.
Heineken wrote:RE, some of your commentary has a bombastic air that I think turns many off, because it is perceived as egotistical. Perhaps you don't intend that, but that is how it comes off---less frequently now than formerly, perhaps, which is what I was getting at in my earlier post.
Consider writing with your audience more strongly in mind.
Heineken wrote:I believe in the power of humility, restraint, and brevity. For me, language framed in that way communicates with more force than your preferred approach.
Heineken wrote:I submit that exaggeration and excess weaken rather than strengthen communication. This is an irony perhaps, but it is ineradicably true and is the path of our greatest writers, such as Hemingway.
